Activities at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Hello, my name is Paula and I’m the Activities coordinator at Tewkesbury Fields care home. I’ve joined Barchester healthcare in 2020.
As part of the lifestyle enrichment team, I will be organising daily activities, ensuring that residents have varied activities to choose from each day. I love enriching our residents’ lives, creating memories and be able to provide meaningful activities to each one of the residents living at Tewkesbury fields.

Life at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home
Introducing our new residents Ambassadors
Meet Our Resident Ambassadors
Tewkesbury Fields would like to introduce you to our very new and wonderful new resident ambassadors, Jack, Ron and Ann.
What is a Resident Ambassador you ask?
Well the Resident Ambassador welcomes new residents and befriends them as they adjust to their new home.
Our Resident Ambassadors could also act as a tour guide around the home and invite other residents to the various activities throughout the week.
This morning, the team and residents gathered in the lounge and our General Manager Jade, presented the 3 residents with their brand new name badges and a little gift.
We could not be more proud of Jack, Ann and Ron.
Summer is here
It was certainly a week of gorgeous and warm weather.
Residents enjoyed spending time outdoors having an ice cream or a drink, a couple of outings in the minibus, including a trip to Staverton airport where we enjoyed watching the planes and reminiscing while having an ice cream at the Café.
During the week, we also continued to take daily walks, and staff encouraged residents to play outdoor floor games.
Ducklings Hatch In the Courtyard
We've had a fantastic surprise this week!
10 little ducklings with their mum were spotted by staff and residents in one of our courtyards. They nest every year in one of the bushes - they must feel very safe and secure!
From indoors and without disturbing the new family, we got to watch them exploring the surroundings and enjoying the sunny morning.
They looked so cute.
Monthly Flower Arranging
This morning residents enjoyed the smell of fresh flowers whilst they were making creative arrangements.
It got some of the residents reminiscing about when they used to do it for their local Church or for village hall events. It is always a social activity and the home loves seeing the finished arrangements throughout the home after.
Age Uk Coffee morning
Residents have enjoyed attending the Age UK coffee morning at The Black Bear pub in Tewkesbury.
It was lovely to meet and chat with the local community and also meeting Lauren Woods from Gloucestershire Rural Community Council, who discussed about her role in the community, IT security, scams awareness and ways of using technology. We look forward to Lauren coming to Tewkesbury Fields to talk to all our residents and families.
We look forward to continue attending these weekly meetings.
St Georges Day Dancing
The lounge looked vibrant with the flags and bunting to celebrate St Georges Day.
Our residents chose to celebrate the day with a good "sing - a - long" and dancing.
At Tewkesbury Fields we can discover many ways of joining in with dancing.
Happy St Georges Day To All.
Upcoming events
